to cope with the traffic. It is expected that

the superior efficiency and speed of the wireless

service will suffice to attract the major portion

of the traffic at the 20 cents rate. If however

it is eventually found necessary to reduce to the

will be borne equally by both Administrations.

I may conclude by remarking on the remarkable

cordiality shewn throughout the visit by the Commissioner

for Foreign Affairs and by the Administrator Colonel Fu and

his staff. I was also impressed by the sincerity of Mr.

Chu's assurance that he would co-operate to the fullest

extent possible in providing Canton with an efficient

wireless service for communicating with Hong Kong and that

he would use all his influence in obtaining the necessary

funds for the purpose from his Government.
